CONESVILLE - Part of a ceiling collapsed inside an empty computer lab in Conesville Elementary School, according to Superintendent Dalton Summers of River View Local Schools.

Summers said school officials found no evidence of water damage and have not yet determined what caused the plaster and drywall ceiling to fall. The damage occurred most likely over the weekend, he said. The age of the building, weight of the ceiling and settling of the structure could have contributed, he said.

Since school is out for the summer, no one was in the building at the time.

"I'm glad nobody was in there," Summers said.

Located at 199 State St., Conesville Elementary was built in 1917, with sections added on in 1936 and 1955. The school houses about 345 students in preschool through 6th grade.
